Hello. Here I am at the top of the list. You have an awesome collection of seashells. Of course your are close to an endless supply. I am certainly the odd man out when it comes to Downton Abbey. It comes on too late Sunday night for me stay up when I worked. Now I am too far behind to catch up. I should ave been recording it. Lovely Christmas books that you have collected. Have a really good week. What will you be doing?

Yes, I am waiting for the show to start. I too love books, but have only one seashell and it sits on the window sill in our bathroom, filled with treasures, including a piece of birch tree bark from Sweden.

Hi there! Your seashell display is just lovely! And you know, I love books, and I haven't seen that Downton Abbey book, I love the pictures! YES, I can hardly Wait for it to come back on!! All of your decorations are beautiful,hugs,Dorothy

I love you collection is this awesome printers tray and adding a few Christmas pieces make it super Christmasy! I love Christmas books! Just read 'Christmas Bliss' by Mary Kay Andrews and it was so cute! hugs,Linda

Love your printers tray with all the pretty shells, what a wonderful idea Diane! And I can hardly wait for the new Downton Abbey season to start, watched the season preview the other night and it looks like it will be wonderful!

How I wish I could sit on the couch by your coffee table and look over your shell collection and leaf through the books.The printer's tray must be a real conversation piece when you have company over Diane.Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.

I really, really like the printer's tray with the seashells and Christmas touches. And the piles of books. I "think" I might be getting the Jan Karon book for Christmas and I'm looking forward to reading it. I took that Downton Abbey book out from our library. What fun to read a little more about the show and the time period. I've already watched the new season on line, but I'll likely watch it again!

Hi Diane, love this post. Your books and shells are perfect to showcase. Love the printers tray and the holiday touches. I have not read the new book from the Mitford series but I have enjoyed others and so enjoy them.Can't wait for the new season of Downton Abbey Jan.4th. I watched the preview and recap of seasons past Friday night and it was so good.Lots coming up in the new episodes.

One day, all your blogging buddies are going to stop in for coffee. Your home looks so inviting! :-) You have an abundance of pretty shells. If my old blind dog's favorite place to lie was not in front of the sofa, I would want a large coffee table too! It's such a great place to display the books and shells.

My book by Jan Karon arrived last week. I really enjoyed the map illustration and that is as far as I have gone. Too busy just now. I need to gather a few of my Christmas books for display...the trunk would work well.

Oh! I'll be getting that book for Christmas...for me, from me! And maybe the DA one too! I love books and I have read all the Mitford books. I have her cookbook too which is really good.You're going to need another printer tray. I remember when you got it and now it is full up! LOL!I too have Christmas books that I drag out and reread and enjoy over the holiday season. Love your dear deer!
